Wow, that is a weeeird video. I'm actually a big fan of Hot Chip, they're awesome live. Going to see them in April in Oakland in fact. But that video is... weird.

Three different videos of Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and The Trinity playing Bob Dylan's song This Wheel's on Fire:

There are some really great music posted previously in this thread, and I thought I'd add a few more that I like.

Let's start with some bands from my country, Norway

A couple of tracks from the great Norwegian folk band Katzenjammer, adds +2 to you mood, guaranteed:

Katzenjammer - Ain't No Thang (Live...in a small boat)

Katzenjammer - A Bar In Amsterdam

...

and a couple of tracks from the fantastic (now disbanded) Gåte. Norwegian folk music meets progressive rock. This band is (was) quite possibly the best live band to ever set foot on this lovely little planet.

Gåte - Bendik og Årolilja

Gåte - Sjå Attende

El Caco is another band from .no. I don't listen to them all that much, but this video is just to much fun not to post!

El Caco - Substitute

...and now for some assorted good tracks from other places

Feeling a bit down, and need a tune to cheer you up? This one from the Canadian band Immaculate Machine works wonders for me:

Immaculate Machine - C'mon Sea Legs

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals are one of my favorite bands, and if you listen to a few of their tracks I'm sure you'll understand why.

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals - Apologies (Live)

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals - Stop the Bus (Live)

....

I find this one mesmerizing -- it's a very laid back high quality remake (by a group called Dynamite Hack) of an old lo-fi NWA rap song, Boyz In The Hood

Warning: Adult language

Hehe, love the ultra-yuppie style. I've been a fan of this song since I first heard it years ago. Fun cover.

It's hard to dance when your legs are on fire by The Model School is pretty good

The other music video the guy has on his vimeo account is also very trippy and interesting.

Ape School - Wail to God

edit: Oh wow, reading comments on the videos lead to even more interesting videos

A amateur music video to Rafter's Juicy

The guy who drew it probably did heavy doses of LSD, though

Wow, those are some triiippy ass videos! Kinda dug the music too, I'm gonna check those two bands out further. Thanks!

This isn't a music video, but I find the lyrics to be so strangely funny I had to point this out to others:

I Believe I Can Fly by C418 on his Bushes and Marshmallows album.

The lyrics don't start up until about 2:20 into the track. And FYI there's one instance of (censored) swearing at the end.

As for C418's music, I've listened to 3 of his albums in this order:

1. Sine - Electronica/trance/ambience stuff that I didn't like at all.
2. Bushes and Marshmallows - Varied electronica stuff that was, IMO, very hit and miss. It's okay but most of it would just annoy me if it was on repeat all day. A few really good ones were 9, 10, 14, and 17.
3. Circle - More electronica. I really liked every song on this one.

april: Marvelous selections.

I was especially impressed by Godspeed You Black Emperor. GYBE was a new group for me, and that's something that doesn't happen all too often.

With taste like yours, please feel free to take me off the beaten path anytime you like.

There is now a part 2 video, created by the same fan that made the first one, so now you get to hear the 2nd half of that particular track.

GYBE was my introduction to the genre of post-rock, which has since become my favorite genre of music. If you like what you are hearing, want more, and have a facebook account, it might be worth it for you to subscribe to this fan page, which will introduce you to plenty more artists you may never have heard of, all within the post-rock genre. (they also have a huge list on the left sidebar if you just want a list of artists worth exploring on your own)

Or if you have a last.fm account, you could just listen to the sound soup tag station I started, which also has quite a few free downloadable tracks available on the right side of the page. I don't plan on limiting it to post-rock though...there will be additions of symphonic metal and other stuff that I deem worthy. And there is a chance the whole thing could be spoiled by other people using the same tag for their stuff, so I plan on sticking to listening to my tag and not the community tag I linked to (unfortunately, I don't think you can listen to my personal tag station without a paid account)

I hadnt heard Bird before Curt. There's a couple of other good tracks by her (but not much) on youtube e.g. Bad Connection.

-tomos (July 24, 2010, 08:04 AM)

-no, not much. She plays the cello, and that is not the best ground for launching CDs en masse on a pop market... But the one I've linked to, Some Boys, wow... I am amazed. Of course the recording was dubbed, but think about it: (an entire CD with) a girl and a cello, and nothing else! It is so awing!

Edited:
Bird's one CD is called Girl and a Cello
re-edited: actually, it is her second CD. But the first one was quite different.

Here's one Question Mark "96 Tears" - high quality recording(s) from a site that's new to me http://www.mydamnchannel.com. I havent quite figured it out yet, there's a whole bunch of channels there, but I think the only channel with music (& boy is it mostly really good) is from Don Was: http://www.mydamncha...kHollywood_1528.aspx (that's another good video there from Guy Clark).

Ohh, this one is real funk(y) Sweet Pea Atkinson "Slow Down" - you can even download that one
